Dear J.K. Rowling,

[mik3cap]

I simultaneously love you and hate you. Harry Potter is great stuff, but the creation of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans... for this, you I must despise.

I bought a box of these bad boys made by Jelly Belly and Hasbro. They really aren't kidding about the flavors. Dirt, booger, black pepper, sardine, vomit... that's what they taste like all right. And then there's the "mystery bean", a neutral beige color with no hint of what it could be... *shudder*

Mikey looks like Hagrid!

I just saw the Harry Potter movie recently. It was good. So have you actually tried the vomit-bean? And if so, what could you possibly have to fear from the mystery bean?

>So have you actually tried the vomit-bean?

Yes. It tastes like vomit. They successfully replicated the taste of bile and stomach acid.

>And if so, what could you possibly have to fear from the mystery bean?

I can think of many other bodily excretions I would prefer to not taste... :)

i didn't want to comment on something from 2002, because then you'd know how nosy i am. but:

oh, those crazy beans! (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mereunit/385748.html)

I was many times tempted to plant some of those bad boys in a candy jar surrounded by perfectly normal jelly beans of all kinds.

I am impressed by your nosiness skills. They rival my own! Though if you really want all the dirt on me, you have to go to my web site. Or just ask or whatever. I'm an open book.
